treatment, and is only referred to in expla-
nation of principle. No one would be so
foolish as to expose a large burn to such
process, as the result would be pain intolera-
Bile. 1t is said that a burn or scald in extent
the size of one-third the surface of the hui
man body is. incurable, for the reason
that the vital forces exhaust themselves
N trying to rebuild or renew what
has been destroyed by the burn. Nature
hates any disturbance to the harmony of It's
action, and in its struggle to overcome such
an injury, overpowers itself. The excessive
aeat, inhaled or absorbed, weakens the vitals
and nature has not sufficient strength to go
into battle. These are important things to
know, for it is only on true principles that
nature is helped in its struggle, and only
through ignorance that suffering is intensi-
led or proves fatal where it could be re-
ieved.
Scores of people daily brought in contact
with heat, steam, boiling water and COM
bustibles are hourly injured by some mishap
N the nature of burn or scald, and thou
sands have been cured of such by the best
known remedy for the cure of pain. The
principle of how il works explains itself after
what has been said. 1t acts as a counter
rritant on the surface injured, gently draw
ng out the heat caused by the burn, while
t soothes the pain, helping nature in the
healing process, and cure follows. 1t is a
specific for pains of this kind and should be
xept handy where fire and steam are used.
But as precaution to its use where seri-
Jus burns or scalds occur, and that suffering
nay not be intensified through ignorance,
ead carefully directions for its use accom-
oanying every bottle. Thousands who testify
o being cured of burns aud scalds have been
10 guided, and praise without stint the vir-
'ues of st. Jacobs Oil by which they have
3een cured.

SAN FRANCISCO, November 14th.-The
overland train that left this CITY Yesterday
afternoon at 3 o'clock was boarded at Col
fax by the Constable of that town. J. e.
Dyer. armed with the dispatch of Chief
crowley and description of the missing
Swain, who was wanted in connection
with the forgery charges against Clara
Belle Mcdonald
Ihat gentleman was found upon the
train and was told quietly that he must hie
himself back again to San Francisco Chief
Crowley was Immediately telegraphed to
and detective Bowen met the return
ing Swain in company with the
Constable this morning at the ferry
Landing. The prisoner was escorted to
Chief Crowley's office and was met there
by his attorney Horace G. Platt, who
renamed closeted with him for several
hours.
A warrant for his arrest upon five
charges of forgery was sworn out before
Police Judge Hornblower this afternoon
by private detective John Gammage, and
the prisoner was taken down stairs into
the City Prison, where he was booked.
Judge Hornblower fixed his bail upon the
first charge in the sum of $1,000, and
upon the other four charges at ST. 600 each.
PERAMBULATINe JEwELRY STORE.
On being searched at the city prison $605
in greenbacks, fifteen Treasury notes of the
value of $1,000 each, lady's diamond
necklace, two bracelets to match, three
rings set with diamonds, one solitaire
breast-pin in the shape of beetle set with
diamonds and opals; diamond sleeve-but-
tons and studs, and another pair of da-
mond bracelets were found on his person.
Being questioned regarding the jewelry, he
stated that he had loaned $1,000 on it. He
most strenuously denied that any of the
articles or money belonged to Mrs McDon-
aid. The jewelry is valued at $1,000.
STRIKING COINCIDENCE.
Some time ago Mrs. Budd Doble, who was
quite friendly with Swain, lost about
$1,000 worth of diamonds, which as vet
have not been recovered.
1t is now believed that Swain is re-
sponsible for all the trouble that Mrs. Nc
Donald has got into, and deserted her as
soon as he saw her husband and father-in-
law would prosecute, as he had expected to
use the woman as shield for himself.

Some Important Amendments to the
Baseball Rules.

Some important Amendments to the
Baseball Rules.
PITTsBURG, November 14th.-The Joint
Committee of the National League and
American Association for the revision of
baseball rules is in session in this city.
After an adjournment of the afternoon ses-
sion the committee announced it had
agreed upon the following changes in the
rules:
Rule % (Section 81, referring to score
cards, has been amended so that any con-
templated changes in teams, after the pub
lication of the score card, must be sub
mitted to the umpire for his approval.
Rule "A, relating to batsmen, has been
changed as follows: If, on the third
strike, the ball hits the person or clothing
of the batsman, he shall be declared out.
Also, after two strikes have been called, if
the batsman attempts to make a foul hit he
shall be declared out.
Rule has been changed from four
strikes and five balls. The rule allowing a
base hit on five balls has been abolished
but five balls will still be considered a
factor in earned runs. A base on balls will
be credited against the pitcher in the error
column.
Rule so tSection A has been amended.
allowing the runner to take q base if the
ball hits the umpire. If the ball struck by
the batsman hits base-runner after an
attempt has been made to field" it, the
runner shall not be declared out. If a
base-runner knocks down or runs into
fielder he shall be declared out.
A resolution was adopted providing for
the appointment of representative from
each Association TO prepare an official re-
port OF the changes to send to their respec-
tive ORGANIZATIONS

-Commlssloner Sparks will not issue his
reply TO Secretary Lamar's letter until to-
morrow. sparks was at the Interior De-
partment for few hours to-day, but de-
cilned TO be interviewed or say what he
expected to do. Lamar says he under
stands that one of the points to be made in
Sparks letter is that he (Lamarl has neg
lected his duties in Office, and that Assist
ant Secretary Muldrow has rendered the
bulk OF the opinions issued from the Secre
tary's office in the rast two years.
1t Is conjectured that the letter which
Sparks is preparing is not letter of resig-
nation, and 1t is claimed that the Commits
sloner will take the ground that his
former letter to Secretary Lamar was per-
tectly proper in form and matter. and that
1t did not admit of the construction placed
upon it by the Secretary The Commits
sloner will therefore vindicate the course
pursued by him, and leave the President
and Secretary to take what action they see
mt in the premises. 1t is believed that he
will compel his removal, and not tender
his resignation, although some claim that
after he has vindicated himself he will add
that his resignation is subject to the pleas
ure of the President.
In Department circles the general belief
is that Mr.. Sparks will have to go, whether
he voluntarily retires or makes il necessary
that the President should order his re-
moval.

The Liberal Leader Expresses HimseE

LONDON, November 14th.-Gladstone re-
plying to the Secretary of the London Rad
lcal Club, wrote as follows to-day: q
think you will expect me to meet your re-
quest by an explicit answer, expressing the
best Judgment which am able to form on
the deplorable disturbance of YESTERDAY.
As l understand the matter, the Home
Secretary stated on Saturday that he in
tended to prevent yesterdays meeting in
Trafalgar Square, end believed that its pre-
vention WIGS within his legal power. The
question is one of great moment to the in
habitants of London. 1t will be generally
felt that the state of the law IN regard to
1t ought to be promptly rested and ascer-
tanned until 3 decision can be had. II is
the o%ty Of every citizen to refrain from al
resistance TO the decision of the Executive
Government, which is clearly entitled to
administer the laws according to what it
may be advised is their true construction.
Such abstinence is, | think, due to the high
character of London for the maintenance
of public order, and to the respect we owe
the law and the mode in which il is usually
applied. But | must add that an appeal
to Parliament on the grave and solemn is
sues now raised by the proceedings of the
Government in Ireland would suffer dis
astrous prejudice were it to be associated
in any manner by those who make the ap-
peal with regard to metropolitan disturb
ances."

and Chas. Thorn, Jr., General Freight
Agent, were also present representing the
road. The complaining parties made
very poor showing, and in fact admitted
that they had very little cause for COM
plant Very few of them came to the
meeting to assert their grievances Their
principal plea was tor reduction on car
load lots of wine, and the return of the
empty pipes from San Francisco. They
argued that the lew price of wine made it
cost them about one-sixth of the whole
production for freight alone.
The same argument was used in regard
to wool and hops. The present rates for
fares were also called in question. and
showing made that six cents per mile is
charged on some portions of the road. A
plea was made for uniform rate of three
cents per mile.
None of the principal shippers or patrons
of the road made any complaint. Colonel
Donahue was very cordial, and expressed
his willingness TO grant all proper conces-
sions.

lcan disgust over New York is pretty well
paralleled by Democratic disgust over
Ohio. The Republicans have in the last
ten or a dozen years poured vast amount
OF money into the rat-hole of New York
politics. The Democrats have done the
same for Ohio, and the average results in
each case have been discouraging. Men
ton has been made of rising sentiment
among Republicans to let New York "go
TO F" for the future, and the Democrats are
showing the same disposition as to Ohio.
Prominent Western Democrats contend
that Ohio has done and will do lust as well
for the Democrats when let alone, and as.
sert that in the next Presidential campaign
they will insist upon no Democratic money
being wasted in that State They hold
that Democratic effort should be concen-
trated upon Indiana, both in the way of
money and speakers. The Republicans
have undoubtedly made up their minds to
make big fight for Indiana and Connect
cut, and Harrison and Harley are looming
up as Presidential candidates.
